When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Email management
Example prompts
- “/capture-drop”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b9f1c9a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Capture Drop loads about 311 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Drop bot/agent captures only into safe inbox folders (50-Inbox/00-Capture or Clippings). Never write crystal, ledgers, or rewrite Source notes.
OVP Capture Drop
Safe drop-folder rules for bots and agents writing into the operator vault.
Drop here only
50-Inbox/00-Capture/— preferred for tagged/inbox capturesClippings/— optional alternate for clip-style notes
Write ordinary markdown notes under those folders only. Intake (ovp2 daily / pipeline) normalizes them into 50-Inbox/01-Raw/ and onward.
Never do this
- Do not write under
.ovp/crystal, evolution ledgers, or other.ovp/append-only product state - Do not hand-edit Crystal / ledgers
- Do not rewrite Source notes; use product commands (
ovp2 …) for pipeline mutations - Do not commit secrets, API keys, or raw provider env files into the vault or this repo
Pointers over copies
Prefer Involute INV ids and ovp:// claim/source/theme pointers in agent-data instead of copying Crystal prose into local agent scratch.
After dropping
Operators process captures via the daily loop (ovp2 daily --vault-root …). Agents should not invent alternate write paths into Reader/Crystal.
